Not sure what sparked all this recent Sabu discussion but I'm all for it. He was influential for sure and his botch heavy offense can be excused because his gimmick was that he was willing to inflict pain on himself in order to harm others. The human daredevil act was often imitated but.not quite topped. What's the closest equivalent of Sabu today? is it Darby?

Dave did an interview with Wrestling Inc. (which is kinda funny since the former owner Raj Giri would constantly shit on him). I can't remember the last time Meltz did an interview with with one of the wrestling sites. Last one I remember is Wrestleline in 99 or so

I'd give Meltz a pass for the rest of his life if he'd said Okada's real name was Juan Greenblatt.

I would watch a web series where Meltz just cruises goodwills and thrift stores in the greater Bay Area.

Prominent Wrestling Journalist Dave Meltzer Accused Of Publishing Stories Based On False Information - Wrestling Inc.

Public accusations have been leveled against Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, who allegedly relied on demonstrably false information for months in 2022.

Not a Bix guy generally but this is based on reporting by multiple other sources who are much more qualified to know as well. Also Jae who works for Dragon Gate contacted him repeatedly trying to correct the story and was ignored until the hoaxer pushed it too far.

Dragongate English commentary team member Jae Church told Wrestling Inc. he was one of many who repeatedly tried to set Meltzer straight on this story, which continued to drag out for several months with Meltzer seemingly relying on the same fraudulent source — to no response. However, on November 2, after months of ignoring the denials, Meltzer emailed Church, who shared a screenshot of the exchange with Wrestling Inc. Saying he had received "a weird report that I wanted to check out," Meltzer told Church that the "report" indicated that Nosawa had retired, presumably as a wrestler, but that he and Ultimo Dragon would be jointly running the creative end of Dragongate going forward.

Meanwhile SRS who was also contacted by this guy, immediately contacted the real Ishida on twitter and saw through the whole thing.

Is there a reason Dave holds a microphone for what is sometimes a 90 minute show instead of having some type of stand?

Meltz is more of a android himself.
